well i was working in private school here in korea... and its really different parents tend to spoiled their children,,, so i have this one student that is so noisy,never bring his book,nor do his homework, and saying lots of bad words in my class, he just enjoy running my class... Ive been teaching for 2 and half years now... i know kinda short exprience.... but i promise i did all my best to reach out to this students,,, 1st i tried to be really kind to him but it never works. later on i get harsh on him coz my class really got affected.but still no result. then i tried to ignore him but still the same. I complain this problem to our director and seems like all of the teacher has the same problem with me...it just that i am the youngest in our faculty. But here in korea specially in private school we never tried to kick out students,,,i dont know why such a rude system. Everytime i will have him in my class i feel like im goiung to have a heart attack! i dont know what to do.... i want all my students to learn...

A Student doesn't want to learn if they are not properly motivated. As you've mentioned, your student loves to draw. Motivate him that his talent can be shown to the world. Tell the student that his talent can be the key to success. Be professional when dealing with students like this one. Try to let the student feel that his classmates are there to learn. Have a dialogue with him and his parents and agree on something that can benefit both parties.

Your problem is even tougher than I thought. Go to a child psychiatrist and have a consultation with the child. Most kids who have attention problems are usually deeply rooted. As what his parents showed, the child and the parent might not be in good terms. The physician can really help you with your problems.

well try ignoring him. youll just get stressed more if you always scold him. I think a cold shoulder is best on this one. I think theres always be a student like this one.

First of all you will need to change your attitude towards a student. A school going child can never be a pain in the a ss. This means half the job is done. Then try to engage the in activity that he likes the most. For example, if likes to sing or dance, then take some time out and allow him to perform in front of the class. By this you will gain the confident of that student. Now one the reason that he is so mischievous because he does not get a chance to do it home. After gaining his confidence, he will surly listen to you and then allow the class be normal.

he loves to draw..and yeah i ask him to draw and after that show me what he done...but still he wont do it... and the reason why i called him like that is he keeps saying and shouting bad words addressing me....and he will never stop till the class finished
